I'm a 15 year old girl. There's this guy I know. I really like him. Like, really like him. But last week I found out he was a total pothead and it's /really/ tearing me up. I don't know the whole story, like how much he uses and when and stuff, but he knows this kid who I think is a dealer and they hang out a lot. The kid was teaching him how to smoke out of a pen. I don't know if I should tell anyone, since I have no proof, try and get someone to check him out, or just keep quiet. I'm just... So confused. And it hurts a lot, seeing as he's such a great guy. I don't want him to end up with serious damage. Any advice?
I really, really hate it when they do it and it hurts me because they're my friend and I don't want them to get hurt or to ruin their life.
So what I've done, is I've told them I don't want to be their friend until they stop, we could talk, but I didn't want to hang out with them, or give them a hug or anything. In a nutshell it was the cold shoulder. I expressed that I really hated what they were doing to themselves, and that it really hurts me to see them like that.
Either show him, or tell him that you don't like it when he smokes pot. Pot is not physically addictive, but it is mentally addictive. People like how you zone out, how you don't have to think about anything that's going on in your life. And also people just find it to be a good past time.
You obviously really like this guy, and it's sincere. So don't give up on him, push him to change and to stop. Show him out bad it is for him. Make him see how much you worry.
